Jason Kidd was the ultimate floor general on the court

On the court, Kidd was like another coach. That’s how much knowledge of the game he had. When he first entered the league, he immediately made an impact. He started his NBA career with the Dallas Mavericks in 1994, and during the 1994-95 season, he started in all 79 games and averaged 11.7 points, 7.7 assists, and 5.4 rebounds. Kidd was named the Co-Rookie of the Year with Grant Hill that season. The season before Kidd joined the Mavericks, they finished with a 13-69 record, and when he joined the team during his rookie season, they finished with a 36-46 record, which was the largest improvement in the NBA.

In his second season in the NBA, Kidd was voted a starter for the 1996 All-Star game. That season he finished averaging 16.6 points, 9.7 assists, and 6.8 rebounds. When Kidd was on the floor, you knew that he would go out and put his team in the best position to win games. If the team needed a basket, he could go out and get you one, or he knew how to find the open man. After spending his first few years in Dallas, Kidd was traded to the Phoenix Suns. He continued to have success on the court during his time in Phoenix. Kidd led the league in assists during his final three seasons with the Suns.

He spent seven seasons with the Nets and then joined the Dallas Mavericks, where he won his first NBA title in 2011 when they beat the Miami Heat. After losing in the NBA Finals twice with the Nets, Kidd finally got a taste of success with the Mavericks. Kidd finished his career with the New York Knicks.
